1
00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:06,320
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

2
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Ketty arm Strong

3
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 1: and Jetty and he.

4
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:21,599
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Yetty.

5
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 1: I think we say this every single vacation we come

6
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 1: back from. But I would like to endeavor to not

7
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 1: talk about things that nobody will care about at all

8
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:35,199
Speaker 1: in a week. If it can't even last a week

9
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:40,919
Speaker 1: of being important, it doesn't deserve any gums to be flapped.

10
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 3: Listen to mister fancy pants. Just a significance and enduring importance.

11
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 3: I want to whip people into momentary anger and or

12
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 3: pleasure and pander.

13
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 2: It doesn't have to be.

14
00:00:56,240 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 1: Important, just entertaining. And I'm not entertained by fang that

15
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: don't are They're not funny, they're not interesting, and they're meaningless.

16
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: That combination is bad. Of course, that's why cable ratings

17
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 1: are what they are. Each show on cable has like

18
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: eighty thousand people watching it in the entire country.

19
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 3: Coming up, Trump under fire for firing the undersecretary of

20
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 3: secretary under fires. All right, So my sweetheart Judy and

21
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 3: I spent eight days in London and had an absolutely

22
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 3: wonderful time. I loved England as I suspected I would.

23
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 3: It's a very interesting place. I've become a fan of

24
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 3: day drinking, and not in that like vacation drinking all

25
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 3: day long way, but in the like you have a

26
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 3: pint at lunch at a pub and then you go

27
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 3: do what you're going to do. You're not quote unquote drinking.

28
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 3: You just have a beer because it's nice and it

29
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 3: makes you feel slightly more cheerful.

30
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: Why did we e how did we develop our attitude

31
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: we have in the United States over the years, Because

32
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: I remember when I was in Italy thinking the same thing.

33
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: Everybody would come in to restaurants, like people who are

34
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: working their jobs. They'd have a glass of wine, eat

35
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: their food and then go back to work. And that

36
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 1: is seen in the United States is just insane, just

37
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 1: absolutely crazy.

38
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Europeans have what I would call a very

39
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:24,119
Speaker 3: European look or view of drinking that I found refreshing.

40
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 3: Speaking of pubs, So we rented a flat in Mayfair

41
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 3: if you know where that is, doesn't matter, New Bond Street,

42
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 3: lots of like crazy high end shopping, mostly populated by

43
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 3: Kuwaiti oil money.

44
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:40,920
Speaker 1: Oh wow, by the bye.

45
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 3: Guys walking up the street with four chicks and the

46
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 3: beekeeper out really going into perfume stores and spending just

47
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,679
Speaker 3: do godly amounts of oil money and a lot real.

48
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 1: That's not an exaggeration. You saw a guy walking up

49
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: the street with four women in the beekeeper.

50
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 3: Up in eight days many times? Yes, wow, I mean

51
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 3: to one to six women in the beekeeper.

52
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 2: Wow. Yeah.

53
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 1: Anyway, Oh, they are basically sex slaves or cleaning your

54
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: house slaves or whatever, and everybody just tolerates that with

55
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 1: no rights. That's correct, yes, And Brits are not super

56
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: duper happy about the completely wildly unfettered immigration from Muslim

57
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: lands over the last twenty years. More on that another time,

58
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:28,639
Speaker 1: but anyway, but out our windows onto the street, there

59
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: was a little like just had half a block long

60
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: street and there was a pub on each side of it.

61
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 2: At the other end.

62
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 3: It was one hundred yards from us maybe as we

63
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 3: looked out the window, and it was so cool every

64
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 3: day and more and more as the week went on.

65
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 3: At four thirty or so, certainly by five o'clock there

66
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 3: would be so many people standing in and outside the

67
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 3: pub having a pint with their coworkers and friends and

68
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 3: a laugh and a conversation before they went home for

69
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 3: the day.

70
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: Sounds like a recipe for sexual harassment.

71
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 2: Oh my god. And it wasn't. They were drinking.

72
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: No, they were talking with people because they worked with people,

73
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: and they met their buddies, and they talked about the

74
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:22,160
Speaker 1: football match, which is soccer, and it just it was

75
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 1: so nice.

76
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,160
Speaker 2: Anyway, Yeah, and I thought, wow, I could get used

77
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 2: to this. In our hurry.

78
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 1: Although the pub thing, we went to this one historic pub.

79
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 1: We met our next door neighbors from home.

80
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 3: Weirdly enough, they were over there at the same time

81
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 3: we decided to get together. We go to this pub,

82
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 3: hundreds of years old, pub, drenched in history, legendary, the

83
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 3: Prince something or lord, what's it there, I don't even

84
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 3: remember the name, but it was very atmospheric.

85
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 2: But anyway, so.

86
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 3: We're sitting there having dinner and or we're having, you know,

87
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 3: a couple of pins, and we decided it's time to

88
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 3: eat and we ordered like four small plates off the

89
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 3: menu and the waitress come I'm back and says, I'm

90
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 3: so sorry. We're actually out of the calamari and the

91
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,039
Speaker 3: pucker fish or whatever the hell it was, and also

92
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 3: the beef Wellington and We're like, oh okay, it's like

93
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 3: six o'clock at night, how are you all right? All right,

94
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,599
Speaker 3: all right, we'll order those other things. Then she comes

95
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 3: back in like two of those three are out.

96
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: So should she ever get around to admitting we're not

97
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: actually a restaurant.

98
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,719
Speaker 2: We don't have any food at all. We just have

99
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:29,159
Speaker 2: a menu.

100
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: We just hope we're working on the end. Most people

101
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 1: start drinking, they forget if they're hungry.

102
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 3: So at one point I said, it would save time

103
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 3: if you just told me what you do have, but

104
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 3: we end up with this mess of food.

105
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:47,160
Speaker 2: Did you say that I shouldn't have? But I didn't know.

106
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 3: And finally so at the end of the evening and

107
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 3: it was lovely, she comes and says, can you tell

108
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 3: me what you actually ordered?

109
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 2: And got oh boy?

110
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 1: And I'm like, wait a minute, that's your job. We're

111
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 1: support no, no, no, you tell us. And it was

112
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: just part of it is tipping is not really a

113
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: thing there. Now they've got a service charge that's like five, six,

114
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 1: maybe ten percent, but.

115
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 3: You feel it because they're not earning it. They're like, look,

116
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 3: I'm getting my six percent. Oh okay, no matter what, gotcha?

117
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: So if you have to like, order twenty four foods

118
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 1: before I bring you three, just because we're playing this

119
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 1: little game of we.

120
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 2: Might have it, we might not. Why don't you order

121
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:37,480
Speaker 2: find out.

122
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:42,039
Speaker 1: So you know it's it's pluses and minuses, because the

123
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 1: whole tipping thing is it's stressful, especially if you don't

124
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 1: know the local customs.

125
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 2: But yeah, Michael, how was the food over there? Overall?

126
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 2: In England? Uh?

127
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 3: Overall kind of good, not great, But once you realize

128
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 3: how to order and what to order, it's it's better.

129
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 3: But yeah, the Brits are not famous for food for

130
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,840
Speaker 3: a good reason. If you say, hey, what's a great

131
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 3: meal around here, people will send you to an Italian

132
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 3: restaurant or an Indian restaurant for a good reason. But

133
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 3: the other thing about workers that I found interesting. We

134
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 3: had a tour guide at the British Museum who was

135
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 3: just terrific. He was a professor of history, and he said, yeah,

136
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 3: that exhibit is shut down because there's just no employees.

137
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 2: There's no one to work. I said, what that's odd?

138
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 3: He said, oh, yeah, since COVID, everybody stays home, they

139
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 3: live with their parents, they're collecting government checks.

140
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 2: You can't get people to work. Wow.

141
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 1: I thought that was so interesting and exactly what you

142
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 1: hear from so many employers in the States. Yeah, we

143
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: had that conversation with my family in the Midwest of

144
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 1: the United States. I don't go to other countries and

145
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 1: give them my money. I stay in the United States

146
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: and I'm for you. But we had the same conversation

147
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: on how number of restaurants, including the one we were at,

148
00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: was really they weren't seating all the seats because they

149
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 1: were crowded, but because they didn't have enough help. How

150
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: is that still a thing?

151
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, it's amazing and universally universal apparently.

152
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 2: But so speaking of.

153
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 3: Things that are are shared between our two peoples, one

154
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 3: of the headline stories on the Sunday Times of London

155
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:26,239
Speaker 3: this past Sunday was the Lefty Party, the new left

156
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 3: Wing Party is.

157
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 2: Has it has got the edge?

158
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 3: It looks like it's going to happen getting the vote

159
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 3: to sixteen and seventeen year olds.

160
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:41,079
Speaker 1: So the left Left Party you led with, it looks

161
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 1: like it's going to happen. They're actually going to let

162
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 1: sixteen year olds vote. The last thing has been trotted

163
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 1: out all the time here, there and everywhere, but it's

164
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: always gets laughed at and shot down. It's actually going

165
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: to happen.

166
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, and the left Left Party is going to beat

167
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 3: out the kind of left the Labor Party, because they

168
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 3: will have the children's votes. Because you can so easily

169
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 3: dupe children into voting for feely, good sounding policies. It

170
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:10,680
Speaker 3: doesn't would never work in real life.

171
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 1: It doesn't occur to people that we've never let children

172
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: vote anywhere ever for a reason.

173
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 2: No, they make emotional sounding arguments about it.

174
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 1: And if anything, if we're going to change voting age,

175
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 1: just as we all know culture has changed so much,

176
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 1: at least in Western society, voting age should go up

177
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 1: to like thirty because people aren't grown ups until then, right,

178
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 1: I agree absolutely more on that on the other side

179
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,520

202
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 3: So anyway back to the whole letting children vote sing

203
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 3: I'm horrified by this. Yeah, I know, it's absolutely awful.

204
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 3: And they did a bunch of polling the Sunday Times

205
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 3: of how this would affect voting, and it would swing

206
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 3: everything way to the left. As I've made the point

207
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 3: many times. The idea of sixteen seventeen year olds voting

208
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 3: is entirely a lefty proposition, because again, you can dupe

209
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 3: children into believing things that adults who've been around the

210
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 3: block a couple of times realize are false promises, or

211
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 3: they remove the incentives and disincentives for people to do

212
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 3: the right thing. And it's terrible, terrible policy. But even

213
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 3: will fall for this when you're that young. It's even

214
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 3: we tried this a dozen years ago, but you were four,

215
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:23,439
Speaker 3: so you don't remember.

216
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 2: Right, and it was a miserable failure.

217
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 3: In fact, it gets run up the flagpole every generation

218
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 3: and fails every generation. But you're a child, so you

219
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 3: wouldn't know that. You shouldn't know that anyway. It will

220
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 3: be the biggest change to the franchise. Oh I'm sorry.

221
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 3: Last month the government confirmed plans to lower the voting

222
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 3: age from eighteen to sixteen in time for the next election,

223
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 3: bringing Westminster in line with blah blah blah. It will

224
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 3: be the biggest change to the franchise since the voting

225
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:53,559
Speaker 3: age fell from twenty one to eighteen and nineteen sixty nine,

226
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 3: and it makes sixteen and seventeen year olds targets for

227
00:11:56,600 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 3: political parties to woo and they a thousand of them,

228
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 3: and essentially the farthest left party is going to have

229
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 3: a hey day. I want to get to some other

230
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:12,200
Speaker 3: results of this poll, the differences between boys and girls.

231
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:13,719
Speaker 3: I'm not going to call them young men and young

232
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 3: women because a sixteen year old as a child that

233
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 3: I find really really interesting. But instead of rushing through,

234
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 3: why don't we take a quick break and come back

235
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 3: with that?

236
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:23,680
Speaker 1: All right? And I do want to talk about the

237
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 1: visiting my dad's one room schoolhouse from when he was

238
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 1: a kid with my son. It was really really interesting

239
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 1: in a number of ways. All on the way, stay here.

240
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 1: Congress is back in session. Summer's over, school has restarted.

241
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 1: Life is serious again. The frivolity of summer is over.

242
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 1: No more hot dogs and beer and laying around, no

243
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 1: more brat girl summer or whatever the hell that is.

244
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:53,439
Speaker 1: Time to get serious.

245
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 2: Go ahead.

246
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 3: So the story behind the story of the whole Britain

247
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 3: is going to have children vote now is the lefty party.

248
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 2: The Labor Party thought, hey, this is a great idea

249
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 2: because kids will fall for anything.

250
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 3: But then a far lefty party emerged and said, yeah, no,

251
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 3: we're even crazier than you, and the kids will flock

252
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 3: to us.

253
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:16,200
Speaker 2: And according to the bulls, they're right. Probably. Yeah, it's

254
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:17,079
Speaker 2: because they're.

255
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 3: Selling childlike fantasies of what the government ought to do.

256
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, Kurre, if you're a normal Democrat in the United States,

257
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,439
Speaker 1: you would not want sixteen year olds to vote because

258
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,960
Speaker 1: they would all become Bernie AOC.

259
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 3: Types, right, right, So I found this very interesting ask

260
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 3: to rate their life satisfaction on a scale of zero

261
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 3: to ten, Girls in Britain nearly twice as likely as

262
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 3: boys to choose an answer between zero and three. What

263
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 3: was the question, rate your life satisfaction on a scale

264
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 3: zero between zero and three. Yeah, twice as many girls

265
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 3: as boys. On the other end of the scale, fifty

266
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 3: eight percent of boys rate their life satisfaction as seven

267
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 3: out of ten or higher, compared to only thirty seven

268
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 3: percent of the girls.

269
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 1: Man, if you're saying your life satisfaction between zero and three,

270
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:04,839
Speaker 1: you need a dose of perspective.

271
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 2: Yeah.

272
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 3: According to the poll by the think tank that there's

273
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 3: a gender split in other things too, boys are nearly

274
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 3: twice as likely to support right wing parties as girls.

275
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 3: Keeping in mind, right wing in Britain is fairly moderate right.

276
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 3: Some forty five percent of boys age sixteen seventeen would

277
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 3: vote for one of the more conservative parties. Forty five

278
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 3: to twenty four of the girls the super lefty.

279
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 2: Let's see is well, it's the reverse.

280
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 3: More than a third say they sympathize more with the

281
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 3: Palestinian side and the Gaza war. Nine percent side with

282
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 3: Israel almost half. That's a very British thing to ask.

283
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 3: Almost a quarter of the sixteen and seventeen year olds

284
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 3: say they suffered from anxiety. Thirty four percent among the.

285
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 1: Girls, Well, that's probably accurate.

286
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 3: Nearly three and five said they had stayed home from

287
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 3: school due to anxiety.

288
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 1: Wow, sixty percent of the kids say they stayed home

289
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 1: for anxiety when I was in school. When you're in school,

290
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 1: that would be roughly zero zero people stayed home from

291
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 1: school for anxiety. Sixty nine percent of the girls h

292
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 1: Forty eight percent of the boys more than four and

293
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 1: ten spend more than six hours a day on their phone,

294
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 1: six and nine spend more than ten hours. Says a

295
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 1: guy who probably spends eight hours a day on the spot.

296
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 2: That number.

297
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 1: Seven out of ten girls have stayed home from school

298
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 1: from anxiety.

299
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, Wow, and just that that great sex divide of

300
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 3: girls like women in the US because we don't let

301
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 3: children vote, are way way farther.

302
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 2: Left than the boys politically speaking.

303
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 1: So would you guess this is an experiment that will

304
00:15:56,840 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 1: be done away with letting children vote or I'm leaning

305
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 1: toward this. Once you give that age group the right

306
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 1: to vote, it will never go away. You'll be no

307
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 1: getting rid of it. I don't know, that's a great question.

308
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 3: I think it might be one of those things that

309
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 3: rectivizes itself, rectifies itself over the long term, because it

310
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 3: will be a miserable, miserable failure.

311
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 2: But it takes so long.

312
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 3: I mean, it's like, how long did San Francisco take

313
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 3: to come around?

314
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 2: I just happen to be reading that their.

315
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 3: Commercial real estate situation has really turned around now partly

316
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 3: because of it, well largely because of AI, but in

317
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 3: the streets of San Francisco much cleaner, the bum junkie

318
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 3: camps far fewer and smaller. San Francisco's really turned itself around.

319
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 3: Credit where it's due. But how long did that take?

320
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 1: Yeah?

321
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 3: But I don't know, years and years and years of

322
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 3: the failure being just plain everybody could see how miserable

323
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 3: a failure.

324
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 2: All those policies were.

325
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 1: But in this particular case, you give the sixteen and

326
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 1: seventeen year olds the right to vote, I don't see

327
00:16:58,320 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 1: how you to ever get rid of it. It's going

328
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 1: to change the politics so drastically, so quickly. How would

329
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 1: you ever end up with a majority that wants to.

330
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 2: Do away with it?

331
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:11,160
Speaker 3: Oh wow, that's an interesting point. Yeah, it's a perpetual

332
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:15,360
Speaker 3: motion machine. Yeah, I don't know. I last I think

333
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:18,120
Speaker 3: that could be one of the most disastrous experiments ever conducted.

334
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:21,879
Speaker 1: Yes, I agree, this could be huge unless these sixteen

335
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 1: year olds when they're forty look back on it and

336
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:28,159
Speaker 1: think I should not have been voting to do away

337
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 1: with it. But that could take a long time. Obviously,

338
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 1: you can do the math on that well.

339
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 3: Right in the new crop of sixteen seventeen year olds

340
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 3: lacking all perspective and wisdom because that's the way you're

341
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:41,199
Speaker 3: supposed to freaking be as a child, there's no avoiding it.

342
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 3: They will say, oh, yeah, yeah, no, we know what's

343
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 3: right for the world. Up with whatever as opposed to

344
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,399
Speaker 3: male white landowners over thirty, which is what it should be.

345
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 3: I'm willing to expand the tent a little bit anyway. Yeah, yeah,

346
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 3: I don't know. The Western world is not looking super

347
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 3: healthy to me.

348
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 1: Wow, that is crazy. What it'll be fun to watch,

349
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 1: you know, to get to have that experiment not in

350
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 1: the United States and see how it turns out a

351
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 1: lot more in the way. If you miss a segment,

352
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 1: get the podcast Armstrong and.

353
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:12,439
Speaker 2: Getty on the Man Armstrong and Getty.

354
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 1: For some reason, I was just shared contemplating, like what

355
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 1: is my point to this story, and then realizing there

356
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 1: doesn't have to be a point. It's just something that happened.

357
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 1: I guess I got sucked into the talk radio vortex.

358
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 1: So it has to have some greater overall point. And

359
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 1: I'm not tired to Trump, don't worry, And I'm not

360
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:32,359
Speaker 1: sure it does.

361
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 3: So.

362
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 1: My dad grew up in rural Iowa. He turns eighty

363
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 1: eight tomorrow, eighty eight years old tomorrow. He's one of

364
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 1: seven children in his family that lived on a farm

365
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 1: with no electricity or running water. Then they moved into town.

366
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 1: Using my finger quotes, I don't know what it was,

367
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 1: one hundred people or something like that, also with no

368
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 1: electricity or running water. And we were there sitting with

369
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 1: my with my son. He wanted to see some of

370
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,679
Speaker 1: this stuff and meet some family. And we were in

371
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:15,440
Speaker 1: Iowa at my aunt's house. That's my dad's older sister.

372
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 1: She's ninety four and still way more with it than Joe.

373
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 1: Biden ever was there at the end, but they were

374
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:24,359
Speaker 1: talking about their childhood and everything like that, and just

375
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 1: I was struck, first of all, how hard it would

376
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 1: have been, Just how much more difficult life would have been.

377
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 1: If you live in an urban area or on the coasts,

378
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 1: you quite possibly are completely unaware that rural areas, particularly

379
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 1: of the Midwest and South, it was like it was

380
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 1: eighteen fifty up until like nineteen seventy, I mean in

381
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:51,880
Speaker 1: a lot of places, and you just didn't know that.

382
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 1: I read a book, Freedom from Fear. Great book won

383
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 1: the Pultrer Prize about FDR through the Great Depression in

384
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 1: World War Two. But any he sent it turned out

385
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 1: to be Hoover, who ended up being president, out to

386
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 1: canvas the United States and bring him back a full

387
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 1: assessment of how people were doing. This was during the

388
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,879
Speaker 1: Great Depression, and he came back and told FDR, we

389
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,239
Speaker 1: got lots of people in this country. They don't have

390
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:21,399
Speaker 1: any electricity, or running water. It was shocking to the

391
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 1: elite in Washington, d c. And New York and San

392
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 1: Francisco and Chicago, who had had electricity since like eighteen

393
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 1: sixty that there were people in nineteen fifty that or

394
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:35,880
Speaker 1: nineteen forty that had no electricity. And so that's when

395
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 1: they started the rural electrification program and the government attempted

396
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 1: to get electric lines all across the country. But the

397
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: elite to the country, the big cities didn't know everybody

398
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 1: who was living such I don't know if you use

399
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 1: the term backward or non modern lives would be a

400
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 1: better way to put it, non modern lives. And my

401
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 1: dad is one of those people, his seven brothers and sisters.

402
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 1: It was in the fifties. He graduated high school in

403
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:02,360
Speaker 1: nineteen fifty five. He went to school in a wagon

404
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 1: drug buy horses.

405
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 2: It's unbelievable.

406
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 1: If you live in San Francisco and there were cars

407
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:12,679
Speaker 1: and electricity in the eighteen hundreds, you can't even imagine

408
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 1: that that's true. But anyway, the first half of his

409
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 1: schooling was in a one room schoolhouse where all the

410
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,159
Speaker 1: grades were in one room and it was only a

411
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 1: dozen or so kids. Kindergarten through senior year, and it's

412
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,160
Speaker 1: some of those schools are still out there and their

413
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:31,199
Speaker 1: historic artifacts. There's a sign out front that says Diamond School,

414
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 1: Iowa Historic Register. It's out in the field. It's now

415
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:36,400
Speaker 1: overgrown with bushes and trees. You can't even hardly tell

416
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:38,159
Speaker 1: it's there. In fact, we missed it a couple of

417
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 1: times driving down this dirt road that leads to it.

418
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 1: It's so covered up with overgrowth that we couldn't even

419
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,119
Speaker 1: find it, even though my dad knew where the school was,

420
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:51,879
Speaker 1: so we stopped. We walk over there to it. My

421
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 1: dad gets out of his pocket knife and cuts away

422
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:55,879
Speaker 1: all the vines and stuff near the front door, and

423
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 1: we managed to pull open the front door and actually

424
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,440
Speaker 1: go inside. And I got a good pick of him

425
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 1: and my son in there at the chalkboard where my

426
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 1: dad would have learned his letters and math and stuff

427
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:07,400
Speaker 1: like that way back in the day as a little kid.

428
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:11,159
Speaker 1: And about the gender bred person, and of course you

429
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,200
Speaker 1: have about the different genders that you can be. And

430
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:15,719
Speaker 1: there was a pride flag in the corner because they

431
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 1: spent an entire month celebrating all that. I kid, of course,

432
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,919
Speaker 1: my son was really fascinated by that obviously as you

433
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,679
Speaker 1: would be seeing your family heritage, not to mention just

434
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:30,479
Speaker 1: the time machine that that whole thing is. And it

435
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 1: didn't have electricity your plumbing either. The overgrown little hot

436
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,399
Speaker 1: overhere is behind the bushes, but I my dad showed

437
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:38,640
Speaker 1: that was the girl's out house and the one over

438
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 1: here was the boys out house. And if you were

439
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 1: there in class and you needed to, you know, do

440
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 1: number one or two, you'd go out in the dead

441
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 1: of winter in Iowa where it might have been thirty

442
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:51,120
Speaker 1: below zero and walk across this little field and sit

443
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 1: there on a wooden plank with a hole in it

444
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,119
Speaker 1: and do your business as an eight year old girl

445
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:57,400
Speaker 1: before you go back over to the school and learn

446
00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 1: you're reading and writing.

447
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 2: I've got frost bite. My Willie, oh.

448
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 1: Good lord, absolutely amazing, night after night. And my aunt

449
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:11,680
Speaker 1: who's ninety four, talking about even when they moved to town,

450
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:13,879
Speaker 1: it was her job when they got home from school

451
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 1: every day to get several buckets and go to the

452
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 1: town pump and full fill it up with water to

453
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,119
Speaker 1: bring water back to the house that they would use

454
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,360
Speaker 1: for cooking and doing laundry. And then they got into

455
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:26,640
Speaker 1: the conversation on how much work. Laundry was the women

456
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 1: did about it all day long. It was just it

457
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 1: was just it was such a project just to have

458
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 1: clean clothes, obviously, and so what do you do with

459
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:44,960
Speaker 1: that information about how much harder life was physically anyway,

460
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:55,439
Speaker 1: but so much less depression, anxiety, complaining it seems right, yeah,

461
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 1: feeling oppressed or you know, we're doing that. We've done

462
00:23:58,280 --> 00:23:59,959
Speaker 1: a couple of studies today, both in the United State,

463
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,400
Speaker 1: it's in Great Britain about people who have so much

464
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 1: anxiety and they feel like their lives will never get

465
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 1: better and they're miserable.

466
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 2: Right now, your life is so much easier than the.

467
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 1: One I just described. I mean, it's like it's being

468
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:17,160
Speaker 1: a different species. It's so much different, right, easier. Well,

469
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 1: I think if you if you separate yourself and your

470
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 1: life and a feeling of being judged from the conversation,

471
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 1: and you just ask the question.

472
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:35,439
Speaker 3: Human beings have always had work, and in certain periods

473
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:41,239
Speaker 3: of history leisure time different people, different amounts, right, and

474
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:49,440
Speaker 3: labor saving devices technology to lessen your work and increase

475
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 3: your leisure time have been you know, worked on and

476
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,679
Speaker 3: developed and embraced just you know, from the dawn of

477
00:24:56,720 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 3: time purely abstract discussion. Is there a point where you

478
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:03,200
Speaker 3: go too far?

479
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:04,639
Speaker 1: Obviously?

480
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:10,120
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, to me, the answer is obvious, absolutely obvious.

481
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 1: If you got up in the morning and they probably

482
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 1: all had to work together to get some sort of

483
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,359
Speaker 1: breakfast together and get dressed and everything like that, and

484
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,439
Speaker 1: then get the horses ready and hooked up to the

485
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:22,679
Speaker 1: wagon and all the different things just to get to

486
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 1: school and then school being what it was, and then

487
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,159
Speaker 1: get home and then have work immediately. As soon as

488
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 1: you got home. You wouldn't have a lot of time

489
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:31,639
Speaker 1: to ponder how happy you were.

490
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:35,680
Speaker 2: Right none actually, or to worry about.

491
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:39,400
Speaker 1: Crap, yeah, to worry about brow And then there's also

492
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 1: the just expectations I would imagine, because he told me

493
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 1: he'd never been to des Moines until he was I

494
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: don't remember how old. You wouldn't have anything to compare

495
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 1: it to. Obviously, without any sort of social media or

496
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 1: every town around you being exactly the same, and you

497
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 1: weren't going anywhere anyway. That's a lot of where happiness

498
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 1: or fulfillment comes from. We've talked about the studies before,

499
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 1: where you know, if somebody gets you might be perfectly

500
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 1: happy with your house, but if somebody builds a nicer

501
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 1: house next to you, your happiness goes down. I mean,

502
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,639
Speaker 1: so it's all just comparing things as opposed to what

503
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:17,919
Speaker 1: you have.

504
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 3: Well in studies have shown that if you're making eighty

505
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:29,120
Speaker 3: thousand dollars next to somebody who's making seventy, you're happier

506
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:32,439
Speaker 3: and perceive yourself as better off than if you're making

507
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 3: ninety next to someone who's making one hundred.

508
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:36,400
Speaker 2: Right.

509
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 1: We even a more stark example of this is we

510
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:45,399
Speaker 1: Henry saw as first Amish people, which me being around

511
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:47,119
Speaker 1: Iowa a lot, I'd seen that a lot. But we

512
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 1: stopped at a little, very rural town gas station and

513
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:52,440
Speaker 1: there were some Amish there and they had their buggy

514
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 1: parked with their horses, living in their Amish lifestyle and

515
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 1: just like you see in TV in the movies, the

516
00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:58,639
Speaker 1: big long beards and everything like that. And they had

517
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 1: a table set up and they were selling stuff, and

518
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 1: Henry bought some sort of like apple pie treat thingy

519
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 1: that was delicious fanamic and I was wondering, I'll bet

520
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 1: there's not a lot of depression and anxiety medication going

521
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:12,359
Speaker 1: on with those Amish children. Not probably not a lot,

522
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:16,400
Speaker 1: and probably not a lot needed. No, No, will we

523
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 1: will we recognize this at some point as the society

524
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:23,880
Speaker 1: and decide to Will we be able to pull back?

525
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 1: Will there be any push to pull push to pull

526
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:28,679
Speaker 1: back from any of this to make ourselves happier? Or

527
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:32,440
Speaker 1: is that just it just is an inevitable head toward

528
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 1: modern convenience, more stuff, faster, until we're so crazy we

529
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,159
Speaker 1: all just I don't know, implode.

530
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:42,880
Speaker 2: That one, the second one, the second one.

531
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 3: I just I don't think. And everybody can form their

532
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 3: own opinion of this, obviously. I think the percentage of

533
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 3: the human beast, the humankind, that actually thinks about this

534
00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:01,120
Speaker 3: sort of stuff is fairly modest. I think a lot

535
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 3: of people just do what they see other people doing

536
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:09,400
Speaker 3: around them, and they don't ever think. Mark Zuckerberg isn't

537
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:12,440
Speaker 3: trying to make me happy. He's trying to make more money.

538
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:15,879
Speaker 3: His offerings, as shiny and as directive as they are,

539
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:19,120
Speaker 3: are not good for me. I'm going to reject them. Well,

540
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 3: that's not the majority of people that don't think, Well,

541
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:22,639
Speaker 3: how about just for your own self? Then?

542
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:24,640
Speaker 1: I always use the example of those of us who

543
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 1: ever lived any other way are going to be dead soon,

544
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:28,639
Speaker 1: And then if you were staring at a phone your

545
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:31,879
Speaker 1: entire life. You can't have the memories like Joe and

546
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:34,199
Speaker 1: I have, or anybody over the age of whatever who

547
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,120
Speaker 1: can at least look back and say, I remember when

548
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 1: I could sit down with a book in the quiet

549
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 1: and read for a couple hours and be perfectly happy.

550
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 1: And I can't do that anymore. But there won't be

551
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 1: anybody that can remember that. Yeah, or drive down, go

552
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 1: on a road trip with no podcast Netflix for the

553
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 1: kids in the car, or anything like that, and we

554
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 1: just looked out the window and talked and everybody was

555
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 1: perfectly fine. There won't be anybody of them. There won't

556
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 1: be anybody around who can even remember.

557
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 2: That, right, right, Yeah, I don't know.

558
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 1: I don't know as wild though to hear a life

559
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 1: described like that, which I'm sure was really freaking hard,

560
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 1: but yet it sound appealing on some levels like it

561
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 1: did to me. It was like, what sounds kind of nice?

562
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 2: Right? No? Yeah, absolutely, I know what you mean.

563
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 1: We probably ought to take a break, but there are

564
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:30,480
Speaker 1: a hell of a lot of people can oh, we

565
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 1: gotta okay, right, I forgot privilege. Delighted to bring you

569
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 1: that you don't have to have a legal battle over

570
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 1: that when you pass away. Who's going to get the donkey?

571
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 3: Kids both think they ought to have the donkey and

572
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 3: end up hating each other. And then the government takes

573
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 3: most of the donkey, which is really an unpalatable you

574
00:29:57,440 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 3: know metaphor.

575
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:00,720

576
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 1: anyone won here who wants a third of a donkey

577
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:07,800

Speaker 1: the corner of the one room schoolhouse? Yes, there was.

597

Speaker 1: That's how you stayed warm, even had some sort of

598
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 1: stove thingy on the wagon that the horse has pulled

599
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 1: because the winners are brutal part of the country to

Speaker 3: Human beings want to be occupied doing something productive at

603
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 3: our core.

604
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 2: That's what we're made for.

605
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 1: We are not built to be amused. There is nothing

606
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 1: an evolution that built us to be amused all the time.

607
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 1: Yet that seems to be what most of us are

608
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 1: seeking all day, every day. More on the way steering.

609
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 4: The leaders of China, India and Russia tonight hand in hand,

610
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 4: shoulders to shoulder, all smiles, laughter, and a clear message

611
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 4: to President Trump. The warm words are an effort to

612
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 4: show a stable and alternative world order. President hu Jinping

613
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 4: ruling out the red carpet. Hosting the Shanghai Cooperation Organization

614

Speaker 4: not all to the US a challenge and a response

616
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 4: to President Trump and Europe over sanctions and tariffs.

617
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I declared, this is the biggest thing going on

618
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 1: in the world. I definitely think it is. You know,

619
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 1: you can do a cable news all day long about

620
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 1: a judge says Trump can't immigration, blob blob whatever, But

621
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 1: the biggest story in the world is this. Here's Ian

622
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 1: Pannell with a little more on ABC News.

623

Speaker 4: Vladimir Putin promoting a system that would replace the obsolete

624
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 4: Eurocentric and Euroatlantic models. In another apparent dig at the US,

625
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 4: India's prime minister who's locked in the battle with the

Speaker 4: US oversweeping tariffs, pledging raumatized with China aiming to be partners.

627
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 1: Nothing lasts forever, and it couldn't last forever that the

628
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 1: United States gets to dominate the world scene and keep

629
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 1: the seas open to commerce and all those sorts of things,

630
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 1: just like the Brits couldn't keep it forever. But we

631
00:32:57,840 --> 00:32:59,280
Speaker 1: ain't gonna like what's coming next?

632
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 3: No, I would agree completely, and I just I'm not

633
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:08,920
Speaker 3: thrilled with the way Trump is handling that aspect of

634
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 3: foreign power. I think he sees the entire world through

635
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 3: a commercial lens, and if anybody wants access to our markets,

636
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 3: they're gonna dance to our tune. And if they don't,

637
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 3: screw them, how about and they will be punished by

638
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:27,480
Speaker 3: not having access to our markets. But I think that's

639
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 3: it's a too narrow view and too short term. Here's

640
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 3: the Devil's advocate view of that would be feel free.

641
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 3: Trump realizes that's where the world's going anyway. So we're

642
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 3: gonna make our best situation we can given the fact

643
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:50,120
Speaker 3: that the world is absolutely screaming toward different spheres of

644
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:52,360
Speaker 3: Influencer's gonna be China's chunk of the world, and there's

645
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 3: gonna be our chunk of the world. And I'm just

646
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 3: trying to set the best best parameters for that.

647
00:33:57,520 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 1: Now.

648
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's fine. I just feel like he's giving

649
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:06,960
Speaker 3: up too much territory too quickly. I mean, I mean,

650
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 3: like India, India has no reason to ally themselves with China.

651
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:14,359
Speaker 3: It's it's it's no, they have much much, much more

652
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:15,800
Speaker 3: in common with the US than China.

653
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:18,960
Speaker 1: You think that culturally, politically that sort of thing. I

654
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 1: wonder how uh slutty, if you will, India will be

655
00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:24,480
Speaker 1: in terms of going back and forth between China and

656
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:26,520
Speaker 1: the United States with whoever just offers him the best

657
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:27,600
Speaker 1: deal as opposed.

658
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 3: First, first of all, I don't appreciate the slut shaming,

659
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 3: but secondly, very very slutty.

660
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 2: I always have been.

661
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 1: But but Russian and China are going to be together,

662
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:43,400
Speaker 1: probably North Korea, Iran, and then there's.

663
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:46,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's the axes of a holes. Doesn't bother me.

664
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 1: Really, they're they're gonna do what they're gonna do and

665
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:49,760
Speaker 1: they can only be managed.

666
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 3: But India bothers me. It's the most populous country on Earth.

667
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:57,440
Speaker 3: It is rounding into form as an economic superpower, or

668
00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 3: certainly a manufacturing superpower, and I just think they need

669
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:03,839
Speaker 3: to be wooed a bit more carefully, a little more

670
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 3: carrot delicious curry to carrot perhaps, and a little less

671
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:08,879
Speaker 3: stick well.

672
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:13,600
Speaker 1: Agreeing with Joe as David Ignatius of The Washington Post.

673
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:16,600
Speaker 5: Three years into this war, he is now claiming this

674
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:19,880
Speaker 5: was the West's fault, and he's as an audience of

675
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:23,960
Speaker 5: prominent world leaders who agree with them, including somebody who

676
00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 5: was a key person in America's efforts to create a

677
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:34,320
Speaker 5: new kind of informal partnership to contain China, namely India.

678
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:41,480
Speaker 5: India's repositioning toward Russia and China reverses diplomacy that's been

679
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 5: conducted since the administration of George W. Bush at least,

680
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:47,480
Speaker 5: and it's a really significant setback.

681
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:53,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, if India ends up semi permanently with China and Russia,

682
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 1: that is not good for the planet.

683
00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:57,440
Speaker 2: Right, It's awful.

684
00:35:57,800 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 3: You know. One of the downsides of democracy in general

685
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:03,439
Speaker 3: is that we change, you know, administrations, we change people,

686
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:05,840
Speaker 3: and to some extent, we change policies every two to

687
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:06,960
Speaker 3: four to eight years.

688
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:10,040
Speaker 2: That's fine, it's just you know, it is what it is.

689
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 3: But there's been a caution about changing things too violently,

690
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:25,319
Speaker 3: too quickly by most presidential administrations because the siren song

691
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:29,080
Speaker 3: of Xijin Ping is that, look, I'm in charge. Someday

692
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 3: I'll handpick my successor, but we will not jerk you around.

693
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 3: If you want a long term economic relationship with me,

694
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:40,600
Speaker 3: I'll dictate how our society goes. You get it as

695
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:42,400
Speaker 3: a joke because I'm a dictator. I don't think you

696
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:47,000
Speaker 3: get it anyway, and I just I think Trump has

697
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:53,359
Speaker 3: been far too cavalier with drastic jarring changes to relationships

698
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:55,400
Speaker 3: in ways that in the long term will not be

699
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:58,880
Speaker 3: good because he sees everything is transactional, and everything is

700
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:02,239
Speaker 3: transactional that includes long term transactions.

701
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:04,279
Speaker 1: They're having that big summit today or more of that

702
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 1: big summit today. I'm sure there will be headlines out

703
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:08,600
Speaker 1: of that we will be discussing on tomorrow. But that

704
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:11,360
Speaker 1: is a that is a giant story. So we do

705
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:16,200
